ReuseBeing so durable, timber is ideal for reusing so donate unwanted wood to reclamation yards or to friends for DIY.

RecycleYou can recycle your unwanted wood at your local reuse and recycling centre. The wood is sent to a recycling facility which sorts and processes mixed wood waste to produce a range of shredded wood products to supply the panel board and energy markets. Wood produced as a result of DIY activities and delivered by van is chargeable, see here.
